The winger's transfer saga seems to be coming to an end as the 24-year-old approaches the Old Trafford exit.
The London native returned to the Red Devils during the off-season, and played in a few of the club's pre-season friendlies, most notably the FA Community Shield match against Manchester City, but it now seems his future lies away from the Mancunian club.
The 23-cap England international spent the second half of last season away from United, returning to his former club Borussia Dortmund on loan.
During his time back at Signal Iduna Park, he helped them reach the UEFA Champions League final, and according to RMC Sports journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Sancho is set to go out on loan again, this time to record Serie A champions Juventus.
The Bianconeri are set to part ways with Federico Chiesa, who looks poised to join Liverpool, and their new head coach Thiago Motta is believed to want to replace Chiesa with the skilful winger.
Chelsea were believed to be in contention to sign the Englishman, with the mooted deal said to have Raheem Sterling moving to United, but it seems Sancho is set to make his way to the Allianz Stadium instead.
The same report claims that the transfer will be a loan with an obligation to buy, but the fee attached to the deal is yet to be disclosed.

Should the transfer be successful, Sancho will be only the sixth English player ever to play for the Bianconeri, as per Transfermarkt.
